About

bubs in bathurst is a free, local guide to pregnancy, birth and the early weeks, written for families in Bathurst and the Central West.

It is written and maintained by Dr Sarah Koffmann, a GP with advanced training in obstetrics and women's health, working in Bathurst. The aim is simple: clear, trustworthy, locally relevant information so families know what to expect and where to turn, from thinking about a baby through to the first weeks at home.

The site is independently produced. It is not sponsored by any practice, hospital or commercial interest, and it does not run advertising. Where it points to other services, it does so because they are useful to local families, not because of any commercial arrangement.

The information here is general and educational. It does not replace the care of your own GP, midwife or maternity team, who know your individual circumstances. If you spot something out of date or have a suggestion, please get in touch via the Contact page.
